Abstruct

Continuous acetone-butanol fermentation was investigated for solvent production. After approximately 11–15 d of continuous operation, the nutrient composition was changed, and an alteration in cell morphology was observed. This led to the aggregation of cells, followed by cell adhesion on the glass reactor. Under these conditions of continuous operation, there was a many-fold increase in solvent productvity. A calculated solvent productivity of 4.1 g/L/h could be attained under these conditions. The continuous operation could be sustained for more than 250 reactor vols.
